There is a royal rule in place that limits which members of the monarchy can travel together in the same plane.
Currently, Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte can all travel together but that looks set to change when George in July 2025.
King Charles's former pilot, Graham Laurie revealed how a royal rule meant that William started travelling on a different plane to his father once he turned 12 in 1994.
Laurie told OK!: "We flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old.

"After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty.
"When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on."
If the same method is applied then Prince George will fly in a separate plane to William, the Princess of Wales and his two younger siblings Charlotte and Louis.
However, it may be decided that William is the one to fly on his own and George travels with his mother and siblings.

The rule is in place to help secure the heirs to the throne.
The rule can be broken with the monarch's permission but it is discouraged since, in the event of a crash, the future of the monarchy would be immediately unstable.
